If your superyacht is over 60 meters, these marinas can accommodate you.
Today’s superyachts are bigger and better than ever with many yachts now over 60m, but not all ports can accommodate larger yachts easily.
So, where are the best berth locations in the world for a 60m+ superyacht? We know that when it comes to finding the right berth for your yacht, size matters, so we’ve put together a guide to the superyacht marinas with the biggest berths worldwide.
Porto Montenegro
They say that bigger is better, so why not start with the biggest berth of all. Beautiful Porto Montenegro in the UNESCO-protected Bay of Kotor has a flagship berth of 250 meters, bigger than any superyacht built to date.
